I tried exactly what you're saying, actually; I grabbed a task planner, put tasks for "Today" in it before I went to bed, then did them when I woke up. And I took a break when I was done. And spent the whole time telling myself, "you have earned this break." Which turns out to not be so very relaxing, actually. The strategy worked well enough that I feel it could work properly, if only I could return to equilibrium long enough to enact it. In its current form, it feels like I'm lying to myself because the other voice telling me I'm not doing enough is louder. And I used to be so... sane sounding.
